An accident on a ferry does not have to as a result of a major incident in order to make a claim for compensation.

As a passenger, maybe on a work trip or on the way to a holiday destination you would not expect to be injured on a ferry, which could cause complications with your trip.

Staff are usually very well trained in what to do in the event of a major accident on a ferry and providing the passengers do as asked in many situations severe injuries can be avoided.

Other accidents on a ferry could be due to slips and trips where the ferry staff have been negligent and left hazards where passengers or other staff can suffer an injury after slipping or tripping.

If an accident on a ferry is due to slipping on a wet floor which has been cleaned, a claim for compensation would be possible if the wet floor was not marked with signs warning passengers and crew  of the hazard.

Another cause of an accident on a ferry could be due to boxes of stock left lying around in an incorrect area creating a hazard.

Any accident on a ferry should be recorded in the accident book which will be held on board. Any witness details should also be included.

If you are unsure if the accident you have suffered would qualify to make a successful accident claim, please ask us.

An accident on a ferry claim would be handled by a No Win No Fee injury solicitor and 100% of the injury compensation would be paid on a successful claim. If the claim is lost, you would not be asked for any money.
